HEAD & SHOULDERS
THE BIRTH OF
HEAD & SHOULDERS
Head & Shoulders was introduced in 1961 by Procter & Gamble after years of research into dandruff treatment and scalp care. At a time when dandruff shampoos were often harsh or medicinal-smelling, Head & Shoulders was designed to combine effective dandruff control with the appearance and feel of a regular cosmetic shampoo. Its formula used active ingredients that targeted scalp flakes while still leaving hair clean and manageable, helping it appeal to a broader audience.
A GLOBAL LEADER
IN SCALP CARE
The brand quickly became one of the most successful anti-dandruff shampoos in the world through heavy advertising and scientific marketing campaigns. Over time, Head & Shoulders expanded into many specialized formulas, including products for dry scalp, sensitive skin, and different hair types. Today, it remains one of the most recognizable shampoo brands globally and played a major role in normalizing everyday scalp care products in mainstream personal hygiene.
